There's two ways you can fix this.
First:
1) Buy Tweaks2k2 and install on your imate Product
2) Using the Tweaks Program, change the system font
3) Soft Reset using psshutxp (NOT USING THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
4) Start Opera (Problem is solved)
5) (Optional) Run Tweaks2k2 again and change system font back to original (Tahoma). Soft Reset again using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
Second option (because I'm cheap and I don't want to buy the program:
1) Look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../html/cgconreplacingwindowscedefaultfonts.asp
2) Using a Registry Editing Program, go to the registry entries listed in the link above and change the name of the font (i.e. "Nm") to Courrier New. I recommend you do this to all 4 registry lines (Someone who's smarter than me can figure out which one specifically does the job).
3) Once you've changed the "Nm" entry of the 4 listed registry keys listed above, do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
4) After reboot, run Opera and the problem is solved.
5) (Optional) Go back and change the 4 registry keys to their original value (Tahoma) and do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON) Hope this helps.

Or another easier way.
Just copy verdana.ttf from your computer to your /windows/fonts directory on your Universal.
Wrong....
The only thing that helps is to copy Verdana.ttf from PC to /Windows older on Universal.
I love this forum and you guys !
thanks you ! Will try this ASAP

goxboxlive,
Thanks for the comments. I tried you're way as well. You're right, its even easier. However, if folks want to put a custom font on their machine (way off topic), they can use the registry edits I used above. I've been playing with it for a while now. I had no idea you could do all this stuff. Fun.

Can someone explain what the 'psshutxp' is?
Thanks

It's a skinnable little app that allows you to turn the screen off (not just backlight - separate utility as well), soft reset, power down, and hard reset. I use it to turn the backlight off and do a soft reset if I can't find my stylus.
Note that the recommendation is probably made with regards to the soft reset otherwise possibly being done before the registry/file changes are written away. You can alternatively wait a while, or try to power down the device fully (hold the on/off (standby, really) button for a while, and you should get a prompt).

Re: Thanks....
Actually I copied Arial.TTF into the font folder and it became the default font. Tried calbri instead and it too worked..
BUT once you have added a font to the directory I cant seem to delete it.
What I am having happen, is the keyboard pops up as soon as Opera opens, when I close it Opera unboots, ditto with IE now..

Hi,
I have a problem with my QTek 9090.
when i want to hard reset it, (power, record, camera and reset) it just displayed the 4 colored bands and stuck here.
how can i restore the normal booting sequence ?
thx.
this is normal, no problem. OS is kichen, no orginal. My Qtek work perfect WM6. Thanks Helmi!
so what should i do because it is block on this stupid 4 colored bands screen...
hard and soft reset do not help.
are you sure you have chosen No/Yes/Yes to clean the registy hive and format the storage at hard reset?
have you pressed the Mail Button to execute the instruction?
being stuck at the 4color screen is a common glitch in wm6 upgrading but nothing serious, that's because even though you flashed the ROM, your storage still has the files of your OLD Os (ex. WM2003).
you have to format the storage to have a fresh and working OS.
the problem is that i did not get any message on screen to which i can answer yes or no :-(
i effectively read some article in this forum about such step, but my Qtek 9090 did not propose me something like that !
:-(
i tried the steps you posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1603200&postcount=8
but the menu is never displayed :-(
oh... ok.
try pressing Camera + Record... before you stick the Soft Reset.
hold them until you see the menu.
if that doesnt work. then maybe one of the required button is failing.
good luck!
unfortunatelly, it does not work :-(
this is making me crazy...
try searching for MMTY hard reset. that's probably the thing that you need.
i did not find anything about MMTY and hard reset...
:-(
any additional help would be very appreciated
You would find you get a better response if you explain what rom it was that you were installing when this happened,was the rom for your device and did it complete fully?
scousemartin is right... we need details.
about MTTY ok...
here's a link about MTTY on Hermes Bootloader... some of its commands are general and can be used on BA with care.
look for something specific to your problem
i.e. Task 28 to format your DOC.
Hi all...
My Blue Angel wont hard reset. I just bought it second hand and have been trying to hard reset it. I read up and the instructions are to keep the power button pressed while resetting with the stylus. But no matter how many times I tried, this procedure only soft resets the device. Please help!
Try it the software way by going to start>settings>system>clear storage>1234>ok.

Hi buddy.. thanks so much for the reply... but its not working.. tapping on the clear storage icon in settings does not bring up the password screen or do anything at all
wat are my other options people... pls help
anybody??????
i think you make wrong HardReset.
for Hard Reset a BA just press RECORD+CAMERA/PLAYER+SOFT RESET 2 sec. and walaahhh.... there you go.., You'll see three options on screen. You must change the second and the third to yes. If you are not developing/testing software you can disable the first debug option for better performance.
have a nice reset

Thank you soooo much Stevo... Ur method worked... I wonder why the wiki itself has the wrong method for hard reset... Maybe the hard reset varies from brand to brand... although it should not be since the hardware essentially is the same... Anyways... Hopefully one of the moderators would read this thread and add your method to the wiki...
Million thanks again...
I get that 3 choice screen, but how to I get it to hard-reset AFTER that? If I hit the soft-reset I get the same thing I have gotten for the whole day before. :-(
on the screen must be shown
enable kitl :choose no
clear registry hive : choose yes
format storage : choose yes
change it using the record and camera button.. after that use the mail button to proceed the hard reset

tried the above but unable to press enter using mail button to initiate rebootin. pls help
Procedure works as advertised
I also was scratching my head over the Hard Reset info in the Wiki not working. This procedure did the trick. Thanks for the help!
Also, for the poster who had trouble with the Mail button not initiating a reboot, just hold it until you get an all white screen, that's what I did and it worked like a charm!

Go to Settings anc click "Clear Storage". Enter 1234 and off you go.
i cant go to setting because i dont have it now..when i go to do hard test they say me that i dont have image file ????
Whats happing with my HTC when i do hardtest....do i have evrithing programs likes before hard test or...??
It might be worth trying an Active Sync back up of your PIM data as this will not require any interaction with your HD. At least you will have this backed up. Using Active Sync you may also be able to remove remove the troublesome program.
If you have no Backups to restore from and if the phone is not responding at all (even after powering off and on again), then you need to perform a hard reset. This implies re-flashing the device with your current ROM and going back to a virgin install as if it's Brand new.
You will lose your data, installed programs and any customisations you may have made.
To do this switch off the device (if you're unable to do this - remove the battery and then put it back in but do not switch on).
Then to Hard Reset :
Press the Vol UP and DOWN buttons at the same time. While these are pressed, press the Power button momentarily. When you let go of the Power button (and the Vol UP and Down and still pressed) a ROM re-fresh screen will pop up. You can now let go of the Vol Up and Down buttons.
Follow the on screen instructions, but basically to re-flash, press the Vol Up button.
These notes apply to the HD only. I'm not sure about other HTC devices.
Good luck!
Do you know how can i uninstal Diamond TF3D without setting tab?
And whay a cant do hardtest? they say me no image file ?
When i install some theme whay i cant put it on with diamond tf3d..i cant see..or when a go to path where i can find instal theme to put it on..i think when i put nwe theme that then will be all ok
Sorry, it's hard to understand with your English.
Have you basically installed a Diamond theme on your HD which makes Tf3D unusable ?
Is your Device locked up and unusable or is just Tf3D unusable ? If it's this second case, then I assume all other Windows Mobile functions are working for you ?
Are you asking about removing the Tf3D Diamond application from your device (using Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs) or about removing a theme you've installed in Tf3D ?
If you cannot see a theme and can't navigate the device because you can't see Tf3D, then try switching off Tf3D temporarily by removing it from your today screen (Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items -> Untick Tf3D).
The Diamond Tf3D skinning tool has a restore function you can use to being Tf3D back to it's original state.
About the Hard Reset : You can do a hard reset without an Image File. The suggestion I've made above is based on your existing Rom and doesn't require you to provide a ROM re-flash file.
How do you get to settings through a file explorer?
Before you listen to these guys about the quick and dirty advice about hard resetting, try uninstalling it via the ActiveSync when you connect your phone to it, it should be under tools.
Anyone ever have the volume up/down buttons on the side of the phone stop functioning correctly?
Looks like the buttons themselves still work (they now scroll up/down on pages instead of adjusting volume up/down). Any suggestions?
I'm running Energy Rom sense 2.5, cookie hometab 1.6 and HDwalls with cookie patch.
Thanks
Didy ou install the keyboard fix after installing the energy ROM?
Thanks for the response. No - was not aware of one. I can check out the energy thread for it.
Odd though because this just happened yesterday (volume sidebar was working fine before then) and ive been running the rom for like two weeks now. Only new thing I did yesterday was install transparent tabs, a cookie tab fix and new wallpaper thru HD Wall.

I know there are reg edits available in cab form that change the vol up/down buttons into up/down scroll buttons. Nothing in your list would be likely to include that, but it's possible...that's the only thing I can think of that would change their behavior like that.
Thanks. I might just look to isolate those two areas and try to set back. I also have that zoombar app (to use for other purposes) but dont think that would affect it, plus I didnt have the problem until days after i installed.
Tried soft/hard reset as well with no avail.

I'm guessing you mean just a soft-reset (rebooting)..? A hard-reset is where you wipe the memory clean putting everything in the OS back to stock settings (or back to the fresh version of a custom ROM, if you've flashed one on to your device). If you've hard-reset and this problem still persisted, then you can pretty much rule out software as a cause...
Yes, my approach would be to just start uninstalling stuff in reverse order, soft-resetting and testing after each item removed.
Yep - definitely meant soft reset. I'll try your advice. Thanks so much.

No problem! Good luck, and let us know what you find
Hi SirPhunk
Deleted everything that I'd installed since the problem occured and still no luck :-/. Buttons on side of phone still scrolling up/down, instead of adjusting volume.
I also tried the Sprint keyboard fix for Energy roms, but no luck there as well. Any other ideas? Do you happen to know if theres a way to search for the value in my registry?
Thanks again
If you want to go searching in your resgistry for it, PHM_Regedit and Total Commander can both search for specific keys...I would just try the string "volbutton" or even just "volb*", something like that.
Now, even though you didn't see the issue immediately when you installed it, I think there's still a possibility that the zoombar app could be the culprit....I would try uninstalling that too (if you haven't already) before you start doing the extra work.
EDIT: It also might be easiest to just install Rhodium Keyboard Controller (attached below) and use it to manually map them back to stock function (don't ask me why I didn't think of that in the first place ). In fact, if you do that, try uninstalling RKC right after doing that mapping, and I'll bet they return to their stock function after that even without the app being needed anymore.
Sir Phunk, Thank you for taking the time to investigate and the response, Sir Phunk. I went ahead and dloaded the cab to my storage card, but cant seem to find the files in order to run and edit the keys manually. Sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm still learning the ins n' outs. Maybe this will help me fully install programs that may be hanging around (even though I went to the "remove programs" section and deleted them).
Please advise if you have a chance. Again, my apologies as I am still learning. Thank you again.

Will do...full instructions coming first thing in the morning
Hey stenuine, let's see if we can get this working for you...
First, I'm again guilty of not explaining things well enough (seriously), my apologies. That file I posted earlier is actually a .zip file, with 2 .cab files inside...it'll be easiest if you download it to your PC desktop, unzip the 2 files out of there, and then copy them over to the SD card.
[TIP: I would strongly recommend creating a "cabs" folder at the root-level of your storage card, and using that to retain any cabs that you run and know that work, even if you're not still using them at the moment. That way, you'll always have easy access to any of them, even through flashes and hard-resets]
The first file in that .zip is the sdkcerts cab, run that one first. It allows your phone to use many of the homebrewed apps and tweaks found here at xda. After that one's installed (do a soft-reset again if the install doesn't force that anyway, always a good habit), then you can just run the keyboard controller cab to install it. Once you have the app installed, the icon to run it is found in:
Settings -> All Settings -> System (it will say "Keyboard Config").
Once you get it installed ok, here's how to use it to get your key's mapped the way you want:
1. When you first open the app, you'll see what's in the first screenshot below(pretty much a blank screen).
2. Click "Menu" in the bottom right
3. Click "Add key" from the menu
4. You'll see the dialog in the 2nd screenshot below, go ahead and tap the volume-up button
5. Now you'll see what's in the 3rd screenshot below, the setup window. There's a lot of stuff there, but we'll only need some of it for this. First, in the "Key mode" drop-down list, choose "Direct key mapping"
6. Now you see what's in the 4th screenshot. Now what you need to do is click the "Key" dropdown list, and scroll all the way down to pick "117 F6-VOL UP"...if you did all that right, it should look like the 5th screenshot.
7. Click "Ok" in the bottom left of the screen. Now, you should be back to the very first screen you saw, but now with the mapping you just created (screenshot 6).
8. VERY IMPORTANT...at this point you must remember to hit "Update config" in the bottom left, or the work you just did won't have any effect. It'll confirm for you that it updated, and that's it! You just mapped one of the volume buttons
9. Now, follow steps 2-9 again, with the following exceptions:
Step 4 - tap the volume down button this time
Step 6 - pick "118 F7-VOL DOWN"
As long as you did all that, and hit "update config" after each one, you should now be able to close the app and have normal volume-button operation.
As you noticed there's a lot of versatility in this little app, so if that still doesn't work for you, there's other ways we can try...this is just the most direct and should work just fine.
Hey SirPhunk,
Thanks for your time and the very detailed breakdown. I was able to install the app and run it, but no luck re-assigning the buttons :-/. Tried re-assigning vol-up button to vol-up and vol-down button to vol-down, but no change. To test, I also re-assigned the "up" key on my flip-out keyboard to "volume-up" and still no dice. Made sure to save the registry after each change and tried with and w/o soft resets after the changes. The vol-up and vol-down buttons still just scroll up/down on the screen and up button on keybard still just scrolls up as well.
I saw what you meant about other functions for this program, just not sure which to try next in order to fix this issue. Thank you again.
bumping my post...
i just ended up doin a hard reset. My best guess is it could have been the zoombar scroller v2 app that screwed with the settings.
